Most properties in war zones (that I've seen) were rehabbed with bubble gum and duct tape.

I have rehabbed 4 houses over the last 3 years working nights and weekends.  

hi,relatively new to the game. i have a property with good potential in an area i think will appreciate well. in my current situation, i am not strapped for cash and can save 7-8k month for real estate purposes alone with my current job. this will be by first SFR and goal is to have at least 12% COCROI and have a minimum of $150+ using the 50% rule. im more or less in it for the long term game and want to retire with a rental portfolio that can supplement my income within the next 10 years. here are the two scenarios for the following property:property: $65krehab costs: $10kclosing costs: $3,200wholesaler costs: $2,500i plan to put 20% down on a 30 year fixed loan at around 4.8%Scenario 1:I cover out of pocket for rehab and wholesaler costs as well as downpayment + closing costsProperty: $65kRehab: $10kWholesaler costs: $2,500k Downpayment: $13,000kClosing costs: $3,200Total cash needed: $28, 710COCROI: 12%Monthly cash flow: $28850% rule: $313Scenario 2:I finance the rehab and wholesaler costs through my bank.

The turnkey company makes money on rehabbing properties and selling them, capitalizing on economies of scale to create equity at wholesale rehab prices, and through a PM fee (often about 10%).

I didn't think of some of the concerns that have been addressed by some of the BP community -- that's a big part of why I have been so pleased with BP!  

Don't forget the electric, water, sewer, gas bills you will be paying during the rehab process.

Tell them what you plan to do (maybe not the address) and see what they tell you.  

The only addresses I've been able to find are with the associated property and nothing about where the tax bills are sent or any other owner info.

Being remote, I'm not looking to do major rehab for my first deal because I'm still building my network "on the ground" and it feels a little overwhelming, but I am willing to do some cosmetic items to attract the right renters.

Are the units dated or recently rehabbed?
